Did you get the socket

@heckelphon Год назад

@@johnchambers12 I was waiting for gravity to take over on that one as he brought the lift down, but I guess he may have been sneaky and got in there to retrieve it already! It would otherwise surely have fallen off as he climbed in the tailgate.

I always get nervous when he drives over that bridge. It's a jeep thing I guess. 😮

@spelunkerd Год назад

Eric O has this long hockey stick shaped steel bar that gives more leverage to pull control arms down. It goes below the control arm and has a hook at mid length to snag the control arm. Old school but it seems to work great.

@module79l28 Год назад

Between the video title and the reality that engine lost 1,000cc of displacement. 😆 Can we also take a moment to appreciate the owner of the vehicle for labelling everything that had a service done, thus making the mechanic's life easier?

@papaw5405 Год назад

Did you go back and get the socket you left hanging on the bolt at 34:39?

@AJwoodway Год назад

I got stuck in the trunk of my 04 Corolla when replacing my struts. My neighbor was walking his dog and was nice enough to pull me out. 😆 Im about 6’2” and 270lbs. Im jealous of all the room Ray had back there.

@jbdragon3295 Год назад

I'm shocked you could even fit yourself inside. I have to say, all the years I used to work on cars. I never felt the need to fully climb inside the trunk to do shocks. Wasn't there a manual release inside the truck you could have pulled? As far as I know, most cars have a manual release inside just in case of something like locking yourself inside the trunk or being kidnapped.

@AJwoodway Год назад

@@jbdragon3295 I wasnt clear. The lid wasnt closed, I just got my feet wedged in just so and couldn’t get out. Two of the nuts were reachable from the back seat. The other had to be gotten from the trunk.

@aciddiver1978 Год назад

In my experience, i learned to not replace OE parts unless they fail. Like the front struts in this video. Because, the aftermarket parts do not last that long. Just my experience.

@MrSloika Год назад

There are some....well used to be...good OE parts suppliers. For years I used Tokico struts 'blues' as replacements on Japanese brand cars. Wonderful product. Unfortunately the company that produced Tokico struts sold their suspension parts division to a private equity firm. I have no idea if they are still worth buying.

@GARDENER42 Год назад

Especially batteries. How come the batteries in two new vehicles I've bought have both lasted more than ten years but replacements struggle to reach half that?

@MikeL-FL Год назад

Depends on the manufacturer. I've had aftermarket parts last much longer then OE. If you use cheap parts you can't expect them to last.

@michaelminetta2167 Год назад

Main issue with doing aftermarket quick struts with some manufacturers usually Honda is strut mounts bind and steering wheel stays to whatever direction it's turned and doesn't fully return to center rec replace struts using OE strut mounts and aftermarket struts most others manufacturer not an issue and Alot have lifetime warranty with steering and suspension parts

@adelestevens Год назад

Put a loop of ratchet strap around the end of the suspension arm and stand on it to pull the arm down. A whole body weight is more than you can apply with a bar and a strap is less likely to slip out of position keeping those oh so vital fingers attached to your hands.

A hook on the top of a piece of rope or strap with like a saddle strap at the bottom allows you to use your body weight to pull down on the suspension while still being able to use both hands.

@eternaloptimist2840 Год назад

You beat me to it - loop a ratchet strap and sit or stand in it. If you need more weight use an assistant and a length of 4x2 instead of a pry bar.

@justinferguson5451 Год назад

I had to chuckle at what we call the old “drive drop” (neutral drop). A group of buddies “borrowed” without permission one of their grandfathers small ranger pickup and went joyriding and raising hell. They were an hour from home doing burn outs egging one buddy the driver to do better so he pops it in neutral revved the engine tight and pulled her down in first gear. He felt something not right and got sick to his stomach when he looked in the side mirror and rear wheels not turning. They had someone tow the truck back to the grandfathers house and pushed it back into the garage like nothing ever happened 🤣

If you loosen control arm bolts the tension would release.and you would have more access. But when you tighten them back after installing the strut you have to jack suspension from the bottom to set it at ride height. That would have made install way easier. But you got it!
